Awesome Park, Monstrous Mosquitoes

Ok here's the deal. I LOVE South Beach. It's an amazing campground that is at the beach, biking distance to town (and the aquarium and Rogue Brewery), and it is always very well taken care of. HOWEVER... This year there are the meanest and nastiest mosquitoes I've ever seen. They swarm like angry bees, and they are the size of small birds. I wish I was exaggerating! We had to go to town to buy the deepest woods (40% DEET... yuck) spray and that only kept them from going full vampire on us for a few minutes.

I hope they get this figured out. The park is too good not to visit. But be careful and don't get carried away by the flocks of mutant mosquito-birds!
